Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0313903A2] The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the non-destructive detection of the presence and behaviour of insects or insect larvae living in wood. The object of the method is to detect the presence and the behaviour of insects (insect larvae) living in wood, in a non-destructive manner, by measuring the substrate vibrations and/or acoustic results produced by these animals and assigning them automatically to the causative behaviour (behavioural pattern); the causative behaviour is shown as the result.
